Kagnew Station, a U.S. military base set in the Horn of Africa, was tasked with handling critical radio communication between far-flung Army, Navy and Consular entities. In addition, it served as a super secret listening post staffed by personnel from the Army Security Agency, the National Security Agency, and the CIA. By the Fall of 1956, there were two thousand Americans at the base—military, civilian, and dependents—with more on the way. As a result, a major expansion of the base, and a thorough upgrade of its radio transmitting, receiving, and surveillance technology was well underway. A little over a month earlier, on July 26, 1956, Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, upsetting well-established security interests throughout the Middle East. Nasser turned to the Soviet Union for help, giving it leverage in its attempt to secure a new strategic military presence in the area, including in the Red Sea. Worried about the vulnerability of Kagnew Station to newly emboldened Soviet intrigue, the CIA instructs Alan Harper, a young covert CIA officer, to go to Asmara, Eritrea, and assess the base’s security risk—not only from Soviet-inspired political action, but also from Soviet-engineered sabotage. Using his cover as a freelance journalist, Harper arrives ostensibly to do a newspaper article on the relocation and expansion of Kagnew Station, giving him entrée to senior military, diplomatic, and civic leaders, as well as with Eritrean students and local businessmen. The situation becomes dangerous, both to himself and to the base, once Harper learns of the presence of a four-man Soviet cell and puts it under surveillance.

On October 30th, 1956, a CIA-sponsored coup (code-named “Operation Straggle”) was to take place in Damascus with the support of the Syrian military. The operation was cancelled on October 29th, one day before the planned coup, after Israel, the British and the French launched attacks on the Suez Canal. History refers to these events as “The Suez Crisis”, and it provoked the Syrian military into refusing to go along with the coup. Two weeks later, the Soviet Union and Syria signed a Pact in which the Soviets promised Syria heavy weapons and other military support in exchange for more political and foreign policy influence. Alarmed by these events, and suffering an involuntary drawdown of CIA personnel in Damascus, Beirut’s CIA station chief sends two covert operatives into Syria a week later to monitor a Soviet intelligence team that had arrived in Damascus, ostensibly to implement the terms of the Pact. Alan Harper, posing as a freelance investigative reporter, and Anne Small, posing as his Arabic-speaking interpreter, soon discovered the real objective of the Soviet team. The action is fast-paced as Harper and Anne, at great risk to themselves, fend off the Syrian secret police, a Soviet hit squad, and the Soviet intelligence team itself, in their attempt to disrupt the Soviet operation.

Jack Taylor, a freshly retired 42 year old U.S. Army MSgt, arrives in Gibraltar and takes up residence as an expat retiree. Informed his military pension won’t be enough to live on, thereby jeopardizing his Gibraltar residence permit, Jack is open to recruitment efforts by organizations that hire paramilitary contractors. Capitalizing on the skills he acquired during his military career as a special forces operative, Jack—working alone or with others—takes on assignments ranging from providing security services to undertaking extraction ops of high value individuals. The CIA station chief in Gibraltar, along with agents of MI-5 and MI-6, soon begin to rely on Jack’s skills. Wishing to provide Jack a socially acceptable cover for his occasional covert operations they pull strings to secure for Jack a private investigator’s license as well as a concealed weapons permit. Jack’s debut as a bonafide private detective cements his local reputation as a resourceful person ready to assist, but he knows those who value his covert operational skills will not easily cut him loose.

Jack Taylor, a retired U.S. Army MSgt now living in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and working as a private investigator is called upon to investigate a kidnapping that has taken place on the Tunisian island of Djerba. As he tracks down the perpetrators he discovers the abduction of the young woman was not simply a local crime, but one involving a European criminal gang as well as persons linked to a foreign government. The complicated pursuit of the abducted woman leads Jack from the island of Djerba to the island of Malta and ultimately to Sicily. Jack is obliged to return to the island of Djerba almost immediately following the resolution of the kidnapping, but this time as part of a CIA-sponsored paramilitary force tasked with rescuing a U.S. Army covert signals team—a mission where his previous career as a special forces operator is once again put to the test. Then, back in Gibraltar, Jack is promptly recruited by Britain’s MI-5 to assist in exposing an espionage effort meant to weaken the Territory’s ties with Great Britain.

Nasser’s decision to nationalize the Suez Canal in July of 1956 caused an upheaval in Middle Eastern affairs as western powers reassessed their ties to the region’s governments. The overriding concern was how the decision might affect future access to Middle Eastern oil. Almost overnight, Libya’s province of Cyrenaica emerged as a critical geopolitical asset as oil prospectors from western nations urgently sought confirmation the region held commercially important deposits of the precious product. The U.S., anxious to secure solid intel, directed their Cairo Station covert operative, Alan Harper, to insert himself into that tumultuous region under the guise of being a freelance journalist in search of a story. The young Alan Harper, only a few years out of journalism school and the CIA training course at Camp Peary, undertakes his second major assignment; his first being his undercover work in Calcutta the previous year. Harper crosses into Cyrenaica from Egypt on a lightweight motorcycle. Almost immediately, he begins to learn of tensions within Libya as the United States and Great Britain jockey for advantage. Harper finds himself a target of those bent on preventing him from securing the information he was tasked with acquiring. His adversaries repeatedly demonstrate their willingness to go to extreme lengths to thwart him.

The Korean War has been termed "The Forgotten War" or the "Unknown War." It is a conflict which never assumed the mythic character of the American Civil War or World War II. However, this book asserts, it would be impossible to understand the Cold War and indeed post 1945 global history without knowledge of the Korean War. Providing a history of the Korean peninsula before the war and including a detailed analysis of the fighting itself, The Korean War goes beyond the battlefield to deal with the war in the air, ground attack, and air evacuation. The study also evaluates the contributions of the UN naval forces, the impact of the war on various homefronts and issues such as defectors, opposition to the war, racial segregation and integration, POWs and the media. Recently-released Soviet documents are used to assess the role of China, the Soviet Union, North and South Korea and the allied forces in the conflict. This fascinating work offers a unique analysis of the Korean War and will be invaluable to students of twentieth-century history, particularly those concerned with American and Pacific history.
